Maine State Police released new details of the case in Daniel Porter's affidavit on Wednesday morning. Porter was led from his father's home Tuesday evening in handcuffs and faces murder charges.

Perdomo was reported missing last week.

In court documents, officers revealed that Jerry Perdomo may have traveled to Maine, in part at least, to collect a $3,000 debt that Porter owed him.

According to police, Porter said he and Perdomo were playing pool at his Jackson home when Perdomo started to make threatening statements toward Porter and his family.

The two men had a history of threatening one another, according to investigators.

Porter reported on Jan. 8 that Perdomo threw rocks through his window. On that day, Perdomo told authorities that he saw Porter with a machine gun, and that Porter threatened to put Perdomo in a wood chipper. Porter claimed that Perdomo threatened to cut off his hands and kill him.

On Feb. 22, Bangor Police Department detectives said they found surveillance video from a store that shows a man throwing a plastic bag into the garbage can. They believe that man is Daniel Porter and identified his girlfriend, Cheyanne Nowak, in the video.

After searching trash containers, detectives found a bag in the trash that contained keys, a blue tooth device, a USB cable, water bottles, a plug, chapstick and a paper bag. The paper bag had two cellphones and a black leather wallet. The keys matched the VIN on Perdomo's rental car, which was found in a Walmart parking lot.

"Det. Cotton said that Porter's eyes welled up with tears when Porter was told that police have retrieved the bag," according to the affidavit.

In a police interview with Nowak, she told detectives that Porter's relationship with Perdomo was drug-related.

During a search of Porter's home, crime scene technicians found evidence of blood droplets, spatter and what appeared to be a piece of a skull or bone, police said. The samples are being compared to Perdomo's father's DNA. Police don't have a DNA sample for Perdomo.

Porter would not tell police detectives the location of Perdomo's body, police said. Neither would his father.
